OH Juli 15 Posted January 14, 2008 Julie, Maybe you exchange the ski trip for something like a spa day where you can indulge and not stress your body. Perhaps that would be a smaller time committment as well. It's good you know your limitations and you have a strategy to deal with them. As always, you're rockin'. :smile: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JulieNYC 4 Posted January 14, 2008 Maybe you exchange the ski trip for something like a spa day where you can indulge and not stress your body. That's without a doubt the best idea I've ever heard! SOLD! Thanks to all for the thoughts. I cancelled the ski trip, have gotten work somewhat under control and otherwise feel more control than I did a few hours ago! Yay.

OH Juli 15 Posted January 15, 2008 If I were in NYC I'd join you for some pampering! I'm glad to hear you're feeling better. :eek: So, how about your feet? You had to lose a shoe size or two...I've been shoe shopping and just spent an hour on Zappos. Just curious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You had to lose a shoe size or two...I've been shoe shopping and just spent an hour on Zappos. Just curious. Yeah, I went from a "big" size 8 to a regular 7. Threw out every pair of shoes I owned and bought about 15 pair last month.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
travelgirl 3 Posted January 15, 2008 REALLY??? Oh, how I wish I had smaller feet.... I wear size 10 gunboats right now. How are you feeling today, Julie? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fort Bend Band 0 Posted January 15, 2008 Travelgirl, I have lost a half shoe size. I was in gunboat size 10's as well and have gone back to 9 1/2 and have found a couple of 9's that fit. Isn't amazing how fat affects every part of your body? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kareyquilts 1 Posted January 16, 2008 OKay, I hadn't put the weight loss together with the fact that I'm wearing 9's instead of 9 1/2's. Very interesting! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HarleyNana 10 Posted January 25, 2008 Julie, on the 14th of this month, I only went through TT/breast lift/reduction and Lipo and about the 7th day, I wanted to cry all day, actually the 8th day too, but today is all better. I just realized one of my stitches around the breast has popped open and there's a hole there, of course it has to be at the end, so if I don't do something I'll be stuck with a pucker or worse it could get infected. As for my TT, after day 2, I did my own drains, I'm sure with what you went through it was so much harder to do, you're truly are a trooper Wishing you a speedier recovery.
